    no snow here yet but it was f##k'n cold this morning. we rode down to Pueblo which is about 45 miles south. it never got over 25 on my thermometer and was very foggie, ice built up on the windshield. I was shaken when we got there. Sun came out and got up to 40 on the way home. Still that's cold. only 8 more months untill summer...:roflmao:

    Neighbors are getting their snowmobiles ready today.:gah:

    Yea Texas boys are rubbing it in. :D No snow here yet and did manage a short ride about 52 but sunny. Supposed to maybe get a 1/2 to inch of snow on the valley floor here maybe on Monday or Tuesday. Snow usually lasts about a 1/2 a day and melts off.

    First snow eh?...we had a skiff up here in oct. We were on strike for three months from august to november..pension dispute..We finally got it figured out a couple of Saturdays ago and my wife and I threw the bags in the car and headed south..[sorry folks, I know this is a bike BB but the weather can be iffy up this way this time of year so the car got the nod] We were questioning our decision early on ..saw tons of bikes in montana and Idaho and it was warm..then we got to Salt Lake..snow..not a lot but snow just the same..Drove up over Soldiers Summit..more snow..down to Moab..more snow..in the meantime the weather was great up here in Calgary..we did the tourist trippy thing in southern Utah/ Northern Arizona..hikes ,pictures..had a ball..and had some snow. We drove back up north and guess what..Idaho and Montana greeted us with snow and when we were in Great Falls MT we were getting Calgary radio stations warning us of a winter storm warning for the area..snow and cold..we beat the storm back..it's 25 below now..brrr!!! Get all the riding in that you can.....

    got some on facebook...gonna have to get some here.... I saw an ad in Moab for a concealed carry permit course..about 50 bucks..thought about taking it to see what it was all about but I'm thinking it wouldn't have a lot of use up this way..It'd be an experience though

    They can rub it in about warm weather but I can go cross country skiing and they can't.
